…and half a dozen of the otherA few sites that have what is called ‘flash fiction’ — ie, short stuff that is, as it were, written ‘in a flash’. Also called microfiction. Hey, I could write this sort of thing.
We’ve found all of these useful at one time or another, but DaFont is the one we use the mostest.
I like Football Poets especially. Brings pomes [sic] back to the people, unlike that impenetrable stuff that Browning bloke used to churn out.
Note: Some poetry sites have been removed from the original post, because they used pop-up ads. If there’s one thing I detest, it’s pop-up ads.

My latent interest in knots has finally come to the surface. Not that I have much use for a lot of them unless I suddenly win a yacht in a competition and have to learn how to moor it properly. Maybe I’m subconsciously compensating for not having been a member of the Scouts when I was younger. Whatever, here’s some brilliant knotty links with loads of useful stuff on them:
I’ll be busy reading those for the next few days. If anyone wants me, I’ll just say I’m a bit tied up…
Notes:

The images and photos found in this archive come from three main sources: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).
So if it’s pictures of fish and astronauts you’re looking for, that’s the plaice to go.
Yeah, that was corny, wasn’t it? I think I’d better be going now…
